The Intentions Are Clear

Dorling

The fear is low


In not knowing the way that events flow


But benevolence goes unrewarded


In a society that would rather see you rot than be saved


So care for one


Is the agenda


Difficult to follow


When grasping hands reach up from the mire


Showing intentions to be hollow


You cannot just ignore them


Mercy must play a part


Something about these open limbs


Reaches straight to your heart


And when your guard is down


You try to carry on


And this is when the other hands grab you


Hands defined as wrong





So tell me


How do I work to satisfy them?


Reaching out to me from every side


There is not much left inside me,


They blew my heart open wide.





Wheeling them away now


Severed and torn and destroyed


Benevolence went unrewarded


Once again, it seems


So what is it that makes my claims for


Satisfaction void?





So tell me


What do I do to satisfy them?


Reaching out to me night after night


The tap's been on for hours now


My heart is Very light.





Oh lord, I did the best that I could do


Time and time again


It's not my fault that I never get it right


So tell me, What do I do?


I know that my faith has depleted


But it was never enough


And it's my belief in that everything you do is for a reason


That makes this justice


Very


Tough.
